We have only published a few pages as yet and have justified all of them. This probably comes from our administrative background where this was the usual thing to do. We think
I'm an ex-typesetter/graphic designer so I'm claiming some expertise here. Justified text is neater but it's harder to read than flush-left. Especially when lines are shorter because there's an image next to them. On your website with the theme you are using it IS easy to read even though it's justified. BUT if you change your theme down the track you're going to have a big job changing all your posts and pages.
Thanks Marion. I didn't realise that could be a problem if you change themes. I am pretty happy with our theme but as we are new there is every chance we might change it if we find something better. Appreciate your feedback.

Should pages and posts be justified?

I think it really depends on what looks clean and easy to read. I wouldn't make a be all end all rule. If you gain peace of mind from justified, then I say do it!
I do like it justified but wasn't sure if there was a good reason not to do it. Marion has commented that it may cause problems if we change themes down the track which I wasn't aware of.

I have tried the solution that I have found on WA site without success so far.
Hello,
You can find the solution in the style.css (you go to appearance - editor and select at the bottom on the right-hand side the file style.css)
Then you search the text below and you change the hyphens value in the values as stated below:
.site-content article {
word-wrap: normal;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
}
.widget-area .widget {
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
hyphens: none;
word-wrap: normal;
}
If you don't find it or you doubt, please ask help and don't change things when you are not sure....
But it is also not that difficult.... ;-)
Grtz,
Bert
Thanks for the info Bert. That was one of the many options we had tried but it didn't work for us (and I can't understand why). We eventually decided to upgraded to the pro version last night out of shear frustration and that fixed the issue straight away without doing anything. After reading some of the posts from other members if we are going to do this properly the Pro version will be better for us anyway.

Can you remove hyphenations on the iconic one theme?
